MARCH TO MOUNT DOOM MADNESS

CALL TO ARMS! *** READ THE ENTIRE SCENARIO BEFORE SETTING UP ***

Rumors of an object of great power fall to the ears of even the humblest warrior. The stakes are high and as the fighting grows more intense, so does the determination of the combatants. The path forward to this object shall go to the most able general!

LAYOUT The tables will use preset terrain features that should not be moved during the set up and game play.

STARTING POSITIONS Roll a dice to see who picks a table edge for deployment. The player with the higher roll picks a table edge and deploys their first warband between 12" and 18" from the board edge. The opposing player then deploys their first warband between 12" and 18" from the opposite board edge. The players take turns placing warbands using the same criteria until all warbands have been deployed.

OBJECTIVES The game is played until the end of the turn in which one army is reduced to a quarter of its original number of models. In the event that both armies are brought to a quarter of their initial strength on the same turn or if time is called, add the number points of each army that are left on the table. The general with the most points left on the table is the victor for these conditions.

MARCH TO MOUNT DOOM MADNESS

THE ONE RING *** READ THE ENTIRE SCENARIO BEFORE SETTING UP ***

The One Ring, a weapon mighty enough to swing tide of war, has been discovered in the wilds of Middle Earth. Within hours of its discovery, two armies redirect their march to its location, seeking to claim it for their cause.

LAYOUT The tables will use preset terrain features that should not be moved during the set up and game play. A marker representing the One Ring will be placed in the center of the battlefield.

STARTING POSITIONS Roll a dice to see who picks a table edge for deployment. The player with the higher roll picks a table edge and deploys their first warband between 6" and 12" from the board edge. The opposing player then deploys their first warband between 6" and 12" from the opposite board edge. The players take turns placing warbands using the same criteria until all warbands have been deployed.

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,

Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne

In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,

One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

OBJECTIVES Both sides are seeking to seize the Ring and carry it off the board via the opposite table edge. Whichever army accomplishes this feat is considered the Victor. In the event that time is called before the One Ring can be carried off the table, the player who controls the One Ring will be considered the Victor. If neither side controls the One Ring, add the number points of each army that are left on the table. The general with the most points left on the table is the victor for these conditions.

SPECIAL RULES The One Ring: The Ring must be dug out of the soil before it can be carried anywhere. A model on foot in base contact with the counter at the end of the Fight phase may attempt to free it - roll a D6. On a 4 or more, the artifact has been freed from the soil. Might may be used to modify this roll if a Hero attempts to dig up the One Ring.

I’ll Take the Ring to Mordor: If the One Ring has been dug from the ground (or dropped), any model on foot can stoop to pick it up and carry it at the end of any Fight Phase. If models from each army are in base contact with the One Ring than neither can attempt to pick it up.

My Precious: A model picking up the One Ring (i.e. the Ringbearer) cannot pass it on to any other friendly model. The One Ring can only be passed when the Ringbearer is killed in close combat. If the Ringbearer is killed in a shooting attack (or by throwing weapon), the One Ring is dropped to the ground.

Loose Mounts: The Loose Mounts optional rule is NOT in effect for this scenario.

MARCH TO MOUNT DOOM MADNESS

MOUNT DOOM! *** READ THE ENTIRE SCENARIO BEFORE SETTING UP ***

Two armies battle for the control to the entrance of Mount Doom. The table is distinguished by a large hill in the center of the table. The winner will be able cast the One Ring into the Fires of Mount Doom or succumb to Will of Sauron thereby determining the fate of all Middle-earth.

LAYOUT The tables will use preset terrain features that should not be moved during the set up and game play. One hill will be placed in the center of the battlefield. The hill will have clear defined boundaries but the sides leading up to the pinnacle of the hill will be treated as rolling terrain (no climb tests needed).

STARTING POSITIONS Roll a dice to see who picks a table edge for deployment. The player with the higher roll picks a table edge and deploys their first warband between 6" and 12" from the board edge. The opposing player then deploys their first warband between 6" and 12" from the opposite board edge. The players take turns placing warbands using the same criteria until all warbands have been deployed.

OBJECTIVES Whichever side captures the hill at the end of turn 12 wins the game. The Hill is considered captured by the army that has the most number of models on the top of the hill at the end of Turn 12. In the event that both armies have equal number of models left on the hill, the Victor will be determined by the general that has the largest number of "points" from their army atop the hill.

SPECIAL RULES The Fires of Mount Doom: The top of the hill is exposed to the extremes conditions of Mount Doom, making it a perilous place to fight. If the roll for priority is ever a draw, each model may suffer the effects of fighting on such treacherous ground. Roll a D6 for each model on the hill:

D6 Result 1-2 The model takes a Strength 4 hit. 3-4 The model is knocked to the ground. 5-6 The model is unaffected.

Note: Might can be used to affect the die roll for a hero when testing for the effects.
